Chapter 028
Lucia took a deep breath and turned to look at Emma who was beside her. “This really has nothing to do with Mr. Adams.” Emma sighed. “Then you need to find a way to explain. After all, everyone now thinks you’re head over heels in love with Mr. Adams to the point of badgering him.”
Explain? No one would listen even if she tried to explain.
“Ding-dong.” The door of the lift opened. Lucia and Emma stepped out side by side and walked to the front door.

Suddenly, a man came up towards them. “Lucia!”
Lucia turned to see that it was Baron, a male colleague from the finance department.

When the time comes, you can explain and those rumors will be gone.” Lucia hesitated. “But wouldn’t that be taking advantage of Baron?” “Of course not. Baron likes you, and you are just trying to get closer to him. It doesn’t mean that you have
